I have a really happy and enthusiastic outlook, which my clients seem to like. I get so excited about each new project, so much so that I can't sleep at night. I dream about curtains and wallpaper and fabrics! It's just such fun!

WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE DECORATOR EVER?

Kelly Wearstler.

WHAT'S THE MOST INSPIRING THING YOU'VE SEEN LATELY?

I read about 30 design blogs a day. I love how all the bloggers covered the latest NYC Gift Show.

TELL US ONE OF YOUR SECRET DESIGN RESOURCES.

Last year when I was doing a condo in Bal Harbour, Florida, I drove over to Palm Beach to check out some of the vintage shops. I fell in love with Circa Who and continue to visit the Web site circawho.com and e-mail Tracy to ask her to keep her eyes peeled for certain pieces. She's always got affordable, funky, cool, vintage furniture and lighting. I love bringing a little '60s West Palm to conservative, serious DC!

MAKE A DECORATING PREDICTION.

As consumers gain more and more access to everything, I think designers will begin creating more and more of their own lines, designing and selling individual pieces that are customized and not available so easily to the public.
